FASTING IS OBLIGATORY DURING RAMADAN



A large number of Muslims over the world watch quick from sunrise till sunset during the entire month of Ramadan as this is the most hallowed month for the entire Muslim Ummah.

The word Fasting has various words in various dialects around the globe. It is known as 'ayuno' in Spanish, 'Jeûne' in French, 'Perhiz' in Turkish, ' صوم/صيام ' in Arabic and 'Puasa' in Indonesian and Malay. The word 'Sawm/Siyam' (صوم/صيام) intends to go without or cease from something. It intends to cease from nourishment, drink, sex and all that which breaks the quick with just goal to do as such for dutifulness to Allah. Whoever prevents this commitment from claiming fasting during Ramadan doesn't stay a Muslim.

The nourishment eaten before the beginning of Fajr is known as 'Suhoor', and the one eaten after dusk (Maghrib Salah) is known as 'Iftar'.

Fasting was made mandatory during the long stretch of Ramadan on every single grown-up Muslim in the Second Year of Hijri (Migration from Makkah to Madinah of Muslims). As Almighty Allah says in Quran:

"Gracious you who accept! Fasting is endorsed to you as it was recommended to those before you, that you may learn devotion and honesty." 

(Surah Al-Baqarah: 2:183)
